“Melinda was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicated often with photos during her service. Having Melinda stay in our home with our large dog, Luka, was the perfect fit! I was very impressed how comfortable he was with her right away and settled right in during the stay. Thank you Melinda for the peace of mind that our baby was well cared for while we were away!”

“Gabriella was just delightful. She loved Flynn and Flynn loved her! She sent pictures and status updates every day, and it was obvious that he had the very best of care. I highly recommend Gabriella and will be requesting her again for future trips. Thank you so much, Gabriella!”

“Sophia was available on short notice (the previous dogsitter we were trying to book flaked out at the last minute), which was extremely helpful! She asked relevant questions when she came to meet our dog, and sent us photo updates throughout the weekend that we were away from home. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care and loved pets almost my whole life. I have helped family, friends, and neighbors take care of their pets such as walking, feeding, and simply just showing them love. It fits in very good, I am almost always free and will make time if I need to. I will be busy for a few hours for certain days but can be there everyday on my free time. I will treat them with love and respect as they are my own. I will respect my clients house and rules at all times and do what is in the best interest of the pet and owner.

“We are so glad we booked Olivia to stay with our dog. We came home to a very happy pup and very neat house. We look forward to booking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”

“This was my first experience using the Rover app. I was a bit hesitant because I’ve never allowed someone in my home overnight without me before. Jessica came and met my animals the day before her stay. My dog who is extremely anxious quickly warmed up to her, and it was clear that it would be a good fit. She was very responsive, and she frequently sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing. If the opportunity arose, I would reach out to her again. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since childhood, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I’m genuinely passionate about learning more about different species and what makes each one unique. My pet care experience comes from a lifetime of caring for my own animals, helping out family and friends, and volunteering whenever I get the chance. I am a full-time student, but I’m confident in my ability to manage my schedule and dedicate consistent time each week to pet care responsibilities. At home, I care for my dog by taking him on regular walks and making time for play and connection, it’s a meaningful part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their established routines to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment.

“Alyssa stayed at our home to watch our 12 year old German Shephered and 9 month old Belgian Malinois. We were very nervous about our Belgian as it would be the first time leaving her. Alyssa came twice to meet us and go over everything prior to the watch date. She communicated with us often and sent photos. We came home to our house in order and both of our doggies well loved. Highly recommend!!!”

I am certified in snuggling pups and providing top-notch companionship for your four-legged fur babies!

I’m available for daily dog walks before 7am and after 3pm, although I am happy to meet your pet’s individual needs to the best of my ability! I’m eager to get outside with your canine companion and stretch our legs together! I take time to get to know my client’s pet care preferences and to develop trust—and friendship—with their pets. I typically schedule initial meet-ups to introduce myself and my services to my clients and to establish a rapport with their furry friends and to learn more about their daily routines. Establishing trust, understanding, and love with my furry friends is my foremost priority. I respect and appreciate each pet’s individual comfort and safety needs, and in doing so, I tailor my services to the individual needs of my four-legged friends.

About: I would love to be there for your friend when you can not be. Living with my best friend Peanut a Bichon I know how important it is to ensure our animal friends are in the best care. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am an animal rights advocate and love our little furry angels so much that I am caring for them full time now. I am self employed and am adding this to my artist work. This makes it possible for me to work around others schedules as best as I can or even for a last minute sitting need. I don't leave my dog outside alone and would do the same with yours. I consider dogs as toddlers in a way smart but needing guidance and protection to keep them safe. I can accommodate any requests for in your home, for outings, and for boarding at my house. I have one dog living with me now and would separate them if there was any issues. Peanut is very playful at a year and a half and not aggressive.
