“This was the first time we ever left our dog so I was a little nervous. Alex's other dogs are very sweet and they got along fine. Alex sent me text and pictures, sometimes twice a day! They went on walks, to the beach, she spoiled our girl rotten! Very appreciate, would highly recommend!”
“I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.”

“Dakota was amazing! She watched Winston over the weekend and it was a great time for him. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. He was in great hands. Highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Ashlea took excellent care of my sweet Kobe. She took a last minute request to board him and made sure that he was well taken care of. Ashlea provided us with daily pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. If you are looking for someone to love and take care of your baby as much as you, Ashlea is your person. We will definitely utilize her service again in the future.”

“Laurie was the best dog sitter I've ever had in 15 years of having a dog! She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and took extra care to make sure my dogs were happy and comfortable. She picked up on a lot of my dogs' own personalities and catered to them. Laurie was very communicative and quick to respond, she sent cute pictures and she was very flexible on pick up and drop off times. Laurie has a fenced in back yard my dogs loved to sniff around and play in. Laurie genuinely cares about dogs and takes care of them like her own. I recommend her as your dog sitter and will be using her services again!!”

“Ginny took great care of our pup during the new years holiday week! We felt so calm knowing our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in the area from DC. Would definitely recommend!”

“Madison was an absolute rockstar with my 8 month old pup. She was kind, and extremely caring with Cali. She kept me updated on Cali daily - my little girl was BEAMING in every picture from ear-to-ear. Cali misses having a buddy like Roma to run around with for sure. In the future we will ABSOLUTELY be electing Madison’s services.”

“Gabrielle took amazing care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She even tailored special meals that would be more palatable for our pup due to medical needs. I would definitely use Gabrielle in the future.”

“Andrew and his family did absolutely amazing with Triton. Super friendly, sent me updated pictures of my boy. So easy to chat with and I knew he was in the best of hands! I will absolutely use Andrew and family to watch Triton. Thank you so very much!”

“We simply could not have asked for better pet sitters for our fur babies! Chris and his wife took excellent care of our two dogs for 11 nights while we vacationed at Miramar Beach. We were sent regular updates and pictures of our dogs that kept us from worrying about them. They worked with us, so that we could visit and take them to the dog park on 3 occasions. The dogs went on regular evening walks and received lots of love. Chris and his wife went above and beyond and their thoughtfulness exceeded our expectations. We would use them again without hesitation.”
“Jeanette and her husband were great with my two doggies! I got an update almost daily and pictures were sent as well. The two are super knowledgeable about k-9s and took perfect care of mine. I would recommend and plan to use again since my pup lab-pit is now the best of friends with hers!”

“I now have multiple visits with Carla and Thea is always thrilled to stay with her while we visit Florida. Love the attention to detail and care given! Great Job as always!”

“Ky was awesome! She kept me posted on my furbaby and sent me photos. Cheese liked her energy and wasn’t scared or nervous with her or in her home. I will definitely be booking with Ky again! ?”

“Chelsee was such an amazing sitter taking care of my dog, Buddy! She made sure he had lots of love, cuddles, and walks. She made sure to accommodate to all of Buddy's needs and provide consistent, detailed updates with how he was every day making it so reassuring that he was being well taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Chelsee if you ever need her to care for your pets!”

“Jordan was fantastic and took great care of my fur baby. My pup can be high maintenance, but Jordan was very good at attention to detail and great with interacting with her and sending photos.”

Valparaiso pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cheryl was recommended by a friend who also had a semi high needs furbaby. She did an amazing job keeping my boy happy, administering his medication, and enforcing his elimination diet. He has epilepsy and this is the first time he has come home from a Rover sitter and NOT had a seizure afterward. I’m thankful I found her and you will be too!

Rosemary did a great job of keeping Tilly on her feeding schedule even though it took some extra effort on her part. She was very patient with our active puppy and went above and beyond to give her plenty of exercise and walking time. We were very pleased with the care and attention she gave our girl and we definitely recommend her!

We were very pleased with the care Liznel gave our kitties! She was available to watch them after our initial Rover person cancelled the week of our vacation. She was flexible with drop off and pickup and handled giving them meds very well. The cats adapted to their new home well and enjoyed the attention from Liznel and her daughter. A great experience overall.

Ginny did such an amazing job, my dog Apollo was treated wonderfully. He was there for about two weeks with a mixture of other dogs. I had frequent updates, and was told how he was being treated - the peace of mind was fantastic. I would easily book with Ginny again, I cannot recommend her enough.

He came through at the very last minute during and emergency and I can’t thank him enough. He took such good care of our boy. Our dog has never been without us so seeing how quickly he warmed up to William made us so happy. Did everything that we asked and even more, and didn’t even complain that our guy was a little stinky after the dog parks on the road trip down. (We didn’t have a chance to bathe him before his boarding because it was unexpected.) Will definitely be booking again on our next trip to Florida.
