“I could not recommend Lisa enough! One of our dogs is considered special needs, so leaving him always makes us a little nervous. Lisa was so amazing and took amazing care of both our dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and amazing communication. Our dogs had a blast hanging with Lisa and her family as well as her 2 dogs! I’m not sure they wanted to leave when we came to pick them up!”

“Skilar and Jared were great! Our two doodles stayed in their home over the weekend while we were out of town. We appreciated the updates and photos they sent, as well as their flexibility when our flight was delayed coming home. We will most definitely book them again when we need a dog sitter!”
“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”

“She is always so responsive and send lots of updates of our baby. She is a great sitter and we always appreciate the fun that he has and the love he receives while at her house!”

“One of the best sitters we've had! Our pup was happy, cared for, and even had a best bud to play with, one of their kids. Their dogs were also easy going and played well with our pup. Very responsible sitter! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Will absolutely book again! Moneissa went above and beyond to accommodate my senior pitbull, Lola. She sent daily photos and updates of Lola enjoying the spacious, fenced-in backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. Because Lola has mobility issues, Mo thoughtfully created a special setup in her home to support her needs and handled her daily medications and diaper changes with care. I’m incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed—highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer, she took such amazing care of my puppy while I was on vacation, and I had total peace of mind knowing my little one was in such loving and capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and sweet notes about how my pup was doing, which really put me at ease. When I came home, my puppy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Jennifer treats pets like their own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter! I’ll be a repeat customer in the future for sure!”

“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”

“Marquia was amazing!! She kept our pup for 4 nights and our girl had the best time!!! Marquia was flexible and very communicative. I had every confidence that our pup was being very well taken care of and didn’t worry about her a single time while we were away. I would recommend Marquia to anyone and will definitely book with her again!!”

“I took my 4 month old puppy Sophie to stay with Lydia for a week. She has two dogs that made friends with Sophie right away. She has a great yard for the animals to run and play in. I received pictures and videos to make me feel more comfortable while I was gone. Sophie was well cared for and happy when I picked her up. I will definitely take Sophie to stay with Lydia again.”

“Kandace was AWESOME!!! My dog is literally the definition of “only dog syndrome”. She took her time introducing Mamas to her fur babies. She kept in touch with pictures and responded quickly when I reached out to her. I could tell she felt safe, loved, and enjoyed being around other dogs!!!!”


“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”

“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”

“Jessica is THE person you want watching your fur babies! She took outstanding care of my 3 month old puppy! She sent photos almost daily for an update on him! Her communication was excellent! I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with Ody after seeing how much love she showed him! He was very spoiled with Jessica! Thank you very much!”

“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”

“Jennifer was amazing! Our golden doodle stayed with her over Christmas and sent pictures everyday and updated us on our boy (even on christmas)! When we picked him up, he was happy as can be, would definitely bring him back!”

About: Hello! I am a dog parent to an 8-year-old bully named Boss. I've been raised with furry friends my entire life, mostly dogs and cats, but a few bunnies too! As a pet parent, I understand the overwhelming anxiety one experiences when it's time to board your furry friend. Rest assured, your fur baby will get the time and attention they deserve. I work a flexible schedule to ensure someone will always be present. I do have a 4-year-old daughter who is just as much of a furry friend lover as I am! She just completed a pet study in school and is very gentle and respectful with Boss. I can administer medications if needed, as I have to do that for Boss. I have a 2-acre property which includes a fenced-in section. I would love to welcome your furry friend into my home and give you the peace of mind in knowing your best friend is being loved while you're away. I’m at home during the day and have flexibility with my work schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the quality time they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and my Boss is crate trained. I also have two acres perfect for enjoyable walks and very minimal traffic on my street.
“We were absolutely delighted with the services provided by Rover pet sitter Jessica. She was not only accommodating but also incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed, and we needed to adjust the time frames for our pet's care. Jessica and her husband's professionalism and flexibility made a significant difference for us during a stressful travel situation. Their dedication to our pet's well-being was evident, and we felt confident in her care. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to others in need of pet-sitting services. Her commitment to her clients and their furry friends is truly commendable. Thank you both, for making our trip worry-free!”

“We have taken Oakley and Pepper to Heather several times over the last 2.5 years. They are always so happy to see her. She keeps us updated throughout their stay which I am very grateful for! She is hands down, the BEST!”

“Savana did a great job with Wolverine! She had excellent communication the entire time he was with her. I appreciated the picture updates and I knew my dog was in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out again if we need a sitter. Thank you!!”

“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!

“Rhonda was excellent!! I was so nervous leaving my cats but I was able to relax knowing everything was taken care of. She did everything I asked her to do and even got my mail! She sent daily updates and pictures! I will definitely use her again!!!!”
“What a lifesaver and super responsible! We had a last minute cancellation on our pet sitter and were away for the weekend and Ariana answered us very timely and jumped in to action. She is a great communicator and went above and beyond for our pets. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”

“Ayla was so sweet and genuine with our cat Miso and us! This was our first time using Rover and she was very responsive to any questions and followed all instructions that were given! So glad to have someone trustworthy to watch over our special girl :)”


About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant through Orange-Ulster BOCES with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for my own dogs, as well as family, friends, and neighbors’ pets, and I truly love making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old Black Lab, Raven, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. Your pup will have a built in buddy for playtime and companionship! I have a spacious home with a basement that is comfortably set up for dogs, and I’m happy to welcome pups onto the furniture because I believe dogs deserve to feel at home (my couch has washable covers). My backyard is partially fenced, and I’m also close to a beautiful Greenway where I love taking dogs for walks and adventures. I also live 3 minutes from Rovers dog park! I understand every dog has their own personality and needs. I have the space and ability to give dogs their own areas or separate them when needed, so every pup can feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during their stay. I also have a membership at Urban Dog Bar in Nashville and love giving dogs fun experiences beyond just sitting at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes your dog happiest. Your pup will be treated like family here with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs included! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m home most weekends and work remotely every Monday and Friday, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work from the office, but I have a consistent routine. I make sure dogs get outside in the morning before I leave, as soon as I’m home, and again before bedtime. I’m also able to provide a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax while I’m away. My backyard is fenced in on three sides and is a decent size for dogs to enjoy. I do let my own dog roam freely, but I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable or safe doing that. I have a running cable available if needed, and I’m also happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. I also have a basement that is separated into two spaces with dog gates, a large dog kennel if needed, and an upstairs area that can be separated with another doggy gate to help create a safe and comfortable space. From one dog mom to another, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in a safe environment with a trusted human. I want every dog in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.

About: I absolutely adore cats 🐈 . I have four of my own, all adopted from shelters or through Facebook adoptions 🎁 . I understand their needs and desires. 💞 I never pry for their attention, as I know it can be stressful for them when a new face enters their space. 🧐 I promise to provide your cats with the best care and do my best to understand them. 🤗 🥰

“Carly is the best!! She was very responsive and accommodating in the booking process, and during her visits she was so loving to my cat Dill - including lots of snuggles and play time!”

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.

“Kayla was amazing! I needed a sitter very last minute and she was perfect. She was prompt in answering the booking request and any messages. She took amazing care of my crazy pups and made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing and made sure everyone ate and went potty. Will 100% be using her again!”
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

“My yellow Lab, Gemma, has a little bit of a disability where she has had some neurological damage to her rear paws/hind end due to an injury she had before we adopted her. I explained everything to Sara and she was very willing to care for Gemma so we did a day of daycare. Sara took great care of her and I think she had a great time! I received several pictures and updates throughout the day. Gemma was quite tired that night from playing most of the day! Thanks Sara!”
“I needed a few hours to complete shopping. I am visiting from out of town and needed a place to let my big boys play and run! This was fantastic! Super friendly. Responsive. And same day (with only an hour notice) such a life saver!”

“Jessica has taken care of my 2 dogs for day care a few times and I will continue to reach out to her for services as I know she is sweet and patient with them, especially my more mischievous pup who I know can be a handful at times. She is awesome & reliable and we truly appreciate her!”

“Emily is wonderful. She took a short notice request from us for an afternoon. She was amazing at integrating her other visitors with ours. Our dogs snuggled up and were very comfortable for their afternoon stay. She is a very caring and kind person who loves what she does! Doggies are well cared for and spoiled with love. It can be hard to connect with sitters and trust but you don’t have to hesitate with Emily & Austin. They make them part of the family!!!”

“AMAZING! Thank you so much for taking care of our small pup! Our ball of energy came home tired which tells us he had lots of fun playing at pup daycare! Also, quick with responding which is a great plus and nice home with a large fenced yard for all the pups to play in! Will definitely book again!”

“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video. We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”

“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”

“My dog Luna loves Miss Heather. She gets so excited everytime we get close to her house. She treats Luna like one of her own. She's the only one I trust with my pup.”

“Maria, provided excellent care to my dog in daycare. She sent photos through out the day and my dog looked very happy and comfortable. She was flexible with me and kind as well. I would ask Maria to watch my dog again.”

“I want to say thank you to Savana for making Jurnee feel so comfortable. She’s only ever stayed with family. I loved all the pictures and updates she gave me throughout the day. Safe to say Jurnee enjoyed herself and has been knocked out since we got home. Will most deff book with Savana again. Thank you so much!!!!!”

“Jessica was great with my lil baby. He was tuckered out for the night. Jessica was quick to respond and provided pictures of his day. Will definitely book with her again”

We have crates and places to put additional crates if needed.

“Once again so pleased with Leslies care for our pups! My wife went into labor early this week and Leslie had our pups for the day on fairly short notice! They always come home nice and tuckered out! 10/10 recommend!”

“We had Lisa watch our young puppy and he left with all wags and smiles! This was our first time leaving him with someone else. Lisa was amazing in making sure I felt comfortable and allowed me to visit her prior to booking. Immediately I felt at ease - she has a sweet and caring spirit and her children are great, too! Already booked our next daycare day. :)”

“Michelle and Ed were wonderful with our dog Sophia. She sent us pictures and you could tell they treated her very nice and made her feel at home. I would highly recommend them to look after any pet of mine. Thanks again!”

“Belle was very good about explaining everything---areas available to the dog, other dogs at the home, toys, food, water, vet etc. Everything was clean. It was the first time my dog had been left with someone other than myself and so it was all new to him. I felt confident that Flynn was well taken care of and will use Belle again.”

About: Experienced Pet Caregiver with Hands-On Puppy Raising Experience, Reliable Feeding and Walking Schedules, and a Strong Commitment to Loving, Attentive Pet Care. Dogs have been apart of my daily routine my entire life so any aspect of taking care of them has been experienced by me! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and experience caring for animals every day. I recently graduated from undergrad and am free all summer before starting graduate school, so I have plenty of time to give pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for pets in clients’ homes while following their routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I also have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understanding their needs.
About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 17 and enjoyed everything about it to daily walks, daily play time, nap time, etc:) I currently work part time as a nurse in a hospital near Nashville! I am going back to school to become a PA. I love taking care of peoples animals on the side:) My surrealism shepherd gets special treatment. I take care of him by giving him daily walks, healthy food, supplements, and making sure he gets the best sleep!
About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services. I will always follow your directions for feeding, rules, & boundaries. You can trust that your babies will be safe and have a fun time while you are away!

I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions and meet you and your pets! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the pets I work with. I have a very flexible availability, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day—whether that means morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, evening visits, or extended stays.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment that helps every pet feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I always take the time to learn your pet’s likes, dislikes, and comfort needs so they feel right at home.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your pet have a great experience. I owned a cat as a pet. For her I take care of her like she is a child to me lol. I make sure she is always stay healthy and entertained!
“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her! Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.
About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs so I can provide consistent care while their owner is away. I closely monitor pets for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and ensure they are always in a safe environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily

“Skilar and Jared were great! Our two doodles stayed in their home over the weekend while we were out of town. We appreciated the updates and photos they sent, as well as their flexibility when our flight was delayed coming home. We will most definitely book them again when we need a dog sitter!”
“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”

“One of the best sitters we've had! Our pup was happy, cared for, and even had a best bud to play with, one of their kids. Their dogs were also easy going and played well with our pup. Very responsible sitter! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Will absolutely book again! Moneissa went above and beyond to accommodate my senior pitbull, Lola. She sent daily photos and updates of Lola enjoying the spacious, fenced-in backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. Because Lola has mobility issues, Mo thoughtfully created a special setup in her home to support her needs and handled her daily medications and diaper changes with care. I’m incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed—highly recommend!”

“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”

“Kandace was AWESOME!!! My dog is literally the definition of “only dog syndrome”. She took her time introducing Mamas to her fur babies. She kept in touch with pictures and responded quickly when I reached out to her. I could tell she felt safe, loved, and enjoyed being around other dogs!!!!”


“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”

“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”

“Jessica is THE person you want watching your fur babies! She took outstanding care of my 3 month old puppy! She sent photos almost daily for an update on him! Her communication was excellent! I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with Ody after seeing how much love she showed him! He was very spoiled with Jessica! Thank you very much!”

“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”

“Jennifer was amazing! Our golden doodle stayed with her over Christmas and sent pictures everyday and updated us on our boy (even on christmas)! When we picked him up, he was happy as can be, would definitely bring him back!”

“We were absolutely delighted with the services provided by Rover pet sitter Jessica. She was not only accommodating but also incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed, and we needed to adjust the time frames for our pet's care. Jessica and her husband's professionalism and flexibility made a significant difference for us during a stressful travel situation. Their dedication to our pet's well-being was evident, and we felt confident in her care. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to others in need of pet-sitting services. Her commitment to her clients and their furry friends is truly commendable. Thank you both, for making our trip worry-free!”

“We have taken Oakley and Pepper to Heather several times over the last 2.5 years. They are always so happy to see her. She keeps us updated throughout their stay which I am very grateful for! She is hands down, the BEST!”

“Savana did a great job with Wolverine! She had excellent communication the entire time he was with her. I appreciated the picture updates and I knew my dog was in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out again if we need a sitter. Thank you!!”

“James was amazing! He kept me updated about my dog while I was out of town and took very good care of him. James is very trustworthy and I will bring my dog to him anytime I need someone to watch my dog.”

“Morgan and her family were amazing! They honestly went above and beyond with caring for Blue. She sent so much lovely photos and a couple of videos showing that he was having a really good time in their home with their dogs and kiddos. She even pointed out a few things that he can use some help on when we asked. If we ever needed to go out of town again Morgan would absolutely be the first person we asked. She clearly cares deeply for her dogs and her family and it translated really incredibly to how she cared for our boy.”


“We love Leslie! She was very accommodating and took great care of our sweet pup. He has some anxiety when meeting new people, and he seemed to take to her right away. I could tell he had a blast for doggy day care and boarding. He was very excited to come home, but I know he will be just as excited when he goes back. 10/10 would recommend Leslie!”

“Sara was great! She communicated well when it came to scheduling and kept me up to date on Mia. She also has a nice fenced in yard for dogs to run around which a huge plus for my dog! Will definitely book with her again!”

“Great experience from start to finish! Cameron was welcoming and easy to communicate with prior to the boarding as it was up in the air the specific dates we needed for Blue. Cameron sent us pictures and even videos of Blue while we were away which was extremely nice as this was the first time Cameron kept Blue. We really appreciate Cameron and will request her again when we’re away!”

“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
